$85 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (2nd out of 60 Players)

started off well. was able to more than double up before the 1st break.  had a couple hands that gave me some big chips.  then i get JJ under the gun short makes it 2.5 bb i make it 10 bb nad call and call. then original shoves i re-shove and have everyone covered. and they both call after me.  AJ was 1st and QQ was after me followed by K J.  so i was drawing almost dead and KJ won after the A hit and the Q hit he got a straight.  That put me back to the starting amound of 7500 at the break.  i build it up slowly again but make a few bad timed bluffs against a lady that kept beating me.  and a few top pairs against her as well.  I get pretty short stacked about 7 bb when i get aq un button and i shove i get both blinds and that brings me up to about 9 bb next hand is qk again i shove and get snap called by the player to my left with kk.  i manage to have my one suckout for the night as i river Qs full of aces.  after that i start stealing some blinds again and i almost triple up when i get A 9 spades and flop 2 spades check check i bet then call call the then turn they bet small and call so i call and river is a spade bet call I shove the nuts 1st folds and 2nd calls and he is eliminated in 8th so we all made the money.  another one goes so 6 left.  I was 2nd in chips and not by much close to 1st i get into a limp pot with As 6h flop comes 3s 4s qs 1st to play makes it 6k the bb was 4k the 2nd to act calls and i call. turn is a 2s 1st checks 2nd makes it 6 i go 16k 1st player folded AA then next calls.  river is another 4 i bet 20 and they shove.  i tank for about 5 minutes then finally decide to lay down the nut flush with a pair on board for all my chips and they show the straight flush.  we chop shortly after 6 ways giving the 1st player about $200 more.

Bonus

free league.  well 5 bucks per tounrament just for fun mostly.  i won a couple so they had there season tournament or something.  i started with 3000 chips most started between 9 and 15k so i started short built it up and then lost an all in with ak vs ak.  yes they flushed out.  then just stole a pot here and there and tried to avoid land mines of too many in one pot.  late in tourney i got 10 j and shoved got called by qq and sucked out a straight
then again 10 j and sucked out against an AQ.  ended in 3rd out of about 90 the 150 was a bounty on a player.  also won a prize package worth 900 but hoping to sell for 600.

played well lost most of my chips to an all in in the 3rd level i raise large and get 3 callers with AK spades flop comes Qs 10s 5h i reraise the 1st to act and call his all in he had pair of 10s he hits his 3rd on the turn and river is a k no spade no straight and he hit his 3rd 10.  rather get it all in there early in a tournament than later.

played so good to lose like this.  Played very tight won every decent pot showdown, bought a few pots was feeling good. had double the avg. stack + when i get KK make a huge preflop raise.  like 6 times the bb got called by the only person with more chips with me flop comes 2 diamonds and q high.  i bet 3/4 pot she reraises i reraise he calls turn is a blank i bet small she goes all in i call she has A Q of diamonds i had the K of diamonds and the river is of course the A that would have made me chip leader in a 1000+ field. Really feel like I need to get a win its been a while and thought that was going to be it.  Oh well I do feel I am over my shitty slump it sucks the wsop is almost over now that I have corrected some of my bad habits.
